>>un,t's so striking, if you kept reading from that quote what you will see is she went on to say basically, but this is a small problem. the market as a whole is doing fine. the overall quality of the securities is very good. i'm not worried about the housing market. in fact at one point she said if there was a mild correction in housing it would benefit the economy by moving resources to healthier sectors of the economy. you're right. they saw it. they saw that housing was crashing. they joked about the problems home builders were having in selling homes. they would tell stories about home builders giving away cars or dressing up empty properties so they looked occupied and they understood there was a problem in the housing market. what they didn't understand was how important the housing market had become to the economy as a whole. >> suarez: earlier in the year, new chairman man beenu chhetri said at a meeting, "so far, we're seeing at worst, an orderly decline in the housing market but there still is, i think, a lot to be seen as to whether the housing market will decline slowly or mor

un, they keep advancing their program, and they keep putting it to use for what are basically peaceful purposes. the fact of the matter is, whether the united states likes it or not, a treaty gives them the right to enrich uranium if they choose to do so. if the united states wants to have a deal, it could have a deal where there is safeguarded enrichment in iran, where iran would observe the n.p.p.'s protocol. >> suarez: let me turn to ray takeyh. there's a suggestion that the youth has to get used to the idea of an iran that enriches, that this kind of interference that it's been doing so far has not worked. and we might get along better if we accept an iran with nuclear technology. >> the strategy of the iranian has been to develop nuclear material and nuclear advances and get the international community to accept them. we used to say it's not permissible for them to do this and do that and they have crossed those lines. i think at some point you have to draw a line and insist upon it. >> suarez: you heard flynt leverett say the cat is already out of the bag. >> what goes up can com

connecticut,un, we talked about how this is a state on the one hand you would think a democrat could do well there, but she's a woman. she moderated her positions and she put a lot of money into it. >> she sure did, and she ran an entirely different campaign from the campaign she won last time. this was a sochter, more woman campaign. last time she ran as a business success and told her personal story this time and was competitive. but chris enoughy, the democratic congressman, spent, as gwen mentions, $9 million-- not of his own money because he doesn't have it-- but he did win and it's a pickup for the democrats in the sense it was held by an independent, joe lieberman. >> the conventional view is if she had won this campaign last time she probably would have run it. it's to you to run against a national tide in a strong state red or blue. >> ifill: even with that much money. we have talked ad nausim about money and how it's corrupting thiks. >> i tend to think money is overrated. you have to get to a certain threshold to introduce yourself to people with money. after that threshol
